abraham lincoln said it best…
with the most brilliant observation that “in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count… it’s the life in your years.”
this happens to be the basis of one of my new year’s resolutions and for the last fifteen days that motto seems to have been making things quite interesting. last week my best friend and i decided we would travel to watch the our basketball team play at taylor university fort wayne (like i explained in my last post). soo there was a blizzard watch and then a level 3 snow emergency (according to our athletics article which can be read at http://www.iue.edu/athletics/?p=1996) but we decided to make the trip anyway because i’m probably the most stubborn person you’ll ever meet and i had my heart set on going to support the guys sooo needless to say, we went. we left at 4:15 for the game that started at 7 and to travel 86 miles it took us almost three hours but the most important thing is that we made it there and back AND we won. 
it was a close game because the boys didn’t quite play to their fullest potential but atleast they came out with a victory. congrats on that gentlemen.
btw, campus was B-E-A-UTIFUL yesterday! i took some pictures but they do it no justice whatsoever. below are some of the pictures from the game and a few of campus.
hope that all is well and until next time, take care! always, dns

Our campus is beautiful. It has definitely grown on me the past few years. I, too, had the opportunity to be on campus while it was snowing, and it was wonderful. As much as I may complain about the cold and snow, I still have to sit back at times and marvel at its beauty.

the campus did look nice, however i would have though that they would have had the sidewalks cleared off for the students today!
